Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, county, state, or other term is entered into a partner search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Dodge County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we use the details you provide to read, route, and answer that message. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site receives basic technical data when a browser loads a page. That information helps measure site use, spot errors, and keep the public Dodge County record pages working.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is passed to us.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors move through the site. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features or measurements may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the website available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To learn which Dodge County jail, court, and facility pages are useful.
- To diagnose broken links, display issues, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, corrections locators, court resources, federal systems, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar tools to measure ad performance or show interest-based ads across websites. That activity occurs on their systems, not in a public Dodge County record maintained by this site.
Limited Sharing
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be processed by a limited set of service providers or disclosed when the law requires it.
- Search partners that receive and process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies under a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or similar legal process.
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that transmission, storage, or partner processing will be breach-proof.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information to us, contact us so the submitted data can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information held by the site.
- Request correction of inaccurate contact information.
- Request deletion of information that no longer needs to be kept.
- Opt out of certain processing when applicable law gives that right.
Policy Changes
This Privacy Notice may be updated as site features, partner tools, or legal requirements change. Revised terms will be posted on this page with the updated effective version.
